Criminal

where did they got the budget for all the stars?! read more

quick hit: criminal isn't so much abjectly awful as it is ambitious in its mediocrity. an interesting concept exists within douglas cook and david weisberg's script revolving around the concept of identity and memory but it's buried in a half-hearted story featuring shorted characterization and dull, lifeless performances from most of the cast. director ariel voorman does what she can with the material but there just isn't enough here to make it particularly memorable or worth recommending. read more

criminal has an interesting premise, but lacks some in execution. too bad really with all the talent that actually signed up for this one. it's not that criminal is all that bad, but it's actually somewhat confusing in its attempts to be clever. the acting is decent enough with the material they were given, and the action, when there is any, is actually quite good, but criminal has one fatal flaw. it's mostly very boring. don't go out of your way to catch this one. criminal will end up as a late night rerun on tv soon enough. read more
